At present she is all alone at Danville, in the state of Indiana, where she seems to have a reasonably fair prospect of establishing herself as a teacher of music. She certainly understands the Art, and is a good performer on several instruments; besides which she possesses peculiar tact and skill in interesting and advancing pupils in the study".
